Religion will be religion. It is man made. But science is having a harder time denying spirtuality. Even scientists say that statistically the chances of life happening here in this big universe and all needed aspects being just perfect, is very slim without some kind of 'higher intervention'.
Scientists have now found that subatomic particles react to our thought. They cannot exist without our thought. They react to certain thoughts even.
As they search deeper into space and search deeper into minute particles, the more they see how the physical really isn't so physical after all.
We are not just made by 'something', we are the something. Everything around us is. We are all one and equal with everything else in the universe.

Try separating them, if you can, till now no one has, I believe. those who argue religion is just myth also put their points based on some sought of beliefs. it is modern day,s fashion to separate religion with science this was not the case in history take the example of Renaissance period it has given modern world great thinkers great architectures sculptors and scientist. i am not promoting you any religion as i am as moderate as you are what i am trying to prove is that what do you mean when you say religion is it Jesus Mohamed Buddha than definitely science should be separated from religion.

Absolutely. Science is fact. Religion is faith. The two are totally incompatible. Not only that but most people of faith are entirely bigoted to non believers and believers in others faiths.
The rampant Christians on this site will all be queuing up to say religion should be there. Well lets suggest then that where Christians say religion should be included it should be the Muslim or Buddhist religion and see what they say then!

Yes, otherwise you end up with scientific repression as happened in the "dark ages" by the RCC. If something is discovered that disagrees with church doctrine, it will be repressed. Additionally, some avenues of research might not even be researched - ie, stem cells, due to church interference.
Remember, science is based upon facts and theories that can be reproduced; it is always moving forward, and religion is based upon myths and faith, and it is stagnant, relying on draditions and dogma.

"As for science vs. religion I'm issuing a restraining order. Religion should stay 500 yards from science at all times."

it isnt possible n shouldnt b done . coz religion is based on various sciences.
mythology
astrology
spititualism
creation of mankind
and all the rituals are further based on the religion, which r further based on sciences. It is all inter-related n this co-relation cant n shouldnt b disturbed n a balance has to b maintained in order to keep religion , the guiding power n a mode of gratification n salvation of mankind.

they should be. Science is about things that can be proved. Religion is about faith, which of course is NOT proof. You should try reading something by Francis Collins a world renowned scientist and a devout Christian...he has the right view on things

In my mind they run in parallel.
The sciences show us what we have been able to measure and formulate and enable us to solve problems in the corporeal world.
Religion is an organisation that is intended to helps to understand metaphysical matters and bring us together to worship who we feel we should worship.
The thing both fields have in common is that none of us can see the whole picture and on account of this sometimes they can seem self contradictory. Another thing that they have in common is that they have been frequently used and abused to motivate groups to support a given cause.

No. But they must be in search of the truth.
They must not fudge the data or create a theory because it fits there belief.
Nor suppress evidence that would counter their belief.
I don't care if there atheist or Christian.

No, some people think so, do a web search on Science and the Bible.
